v18.01

Countly 18.01 comes with 100+ improvements including new features/plugins such as automated push notifications, times of day, improved heatmaps for web, and data migration.

You can read more about 18.01 release in our blog post. If you'd like to view a detailed list of all changes please see here.

Highlights for Enterprise Edition

• Automated push is now available as an option in Messaging section for Countly Enterprise customers. Using automated push, you can trigger push messages to be sent out to users based on their in-app actions and behaviour. Triggers are based on behavioral cohort entry and exits thus it enables complex rule set definitions. Furthermore there are various automated push delivery options such as message capping to limit messages per user in a given timeframe, message delay once conditions are met and sending the messages at a time based on users' timezone.

• Heatmaps for web has been modified to have a much more useful top bar including resolution selection and a switch between click and scroll heatmaps, scroll heatmaps being a completely new addition. Scroll heatmaps will provide you with a clear overview how far users scroll to in your page, giving you actionable data to position important content according to the average fold or point out whether users are actually missing parts of pages that they shouldn't.

• Funnels view is redesigned to show dropped users between funnel steps. You can see user profiles of dropped users by clicking on the dropped user count on each step.

Highlights for Community and Enterprise Editions

• Times of day plugin stores and visualises session and custom event occurence times based on the local user time. Using this report you can visualise data for this/past month, last three months and all time, in order to get insights into at what time and on which day certain actions are more common amongst your application users.

• Data migration plugin is another cool new plugin that you can use to migrate data between two Countly servers, manually via exporting and importing data files or via an automated process that handles data migration for you.

SDK updates

• iOS SDK: https://github.com/Countly/countly-sdk-ios/releases
• Android SDK: https://github.com/Countly/countly-sdk-android/releases
• Web SDK: https://github.com/Countly/countly-sdk-web/releases

Changelog for Community and Enterprise Editions

Changelog for Enterprise Edition

• 4 new plugins

List of users who belong in a cohort is automatically kept up-to-date, and you can segment funnels, retention, user profiles, flows and drill data based on cohorts you create.
  • Crash Symbolication/De-obfuscation makes crash analytics much more useful by enriching stack traces with class/method names and line numbers from the actual source code of your iOS and Android applications.
  • Alerts gives you an easy to use mechanism to be notified about changes in your data such as an increase/decrease in new users, occurrence count of a custom event or new crashes/errors.
  • White-labeling plugin lets you customise your Countly Enterprise UI by changing the logo, button and menu colors in an intuitive way.
